Recipe Introduction
Posted by: Homestyle
List of Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 Tablespoon water
1/4 cup molasses
2 Tablespoons white sugar
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together the flour, ginger, baking
soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Set aside.
In large bowl, cream together the butter and l cup sugar until light
and fluffy. Beat in egg, then stir in molasses and water. Gradually
add the sifted ingredients into the molasses mixture. Shape dough
into walnut sized balls and roll in remaining 2 Tablespoons of sugar.
Place cookies 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
Bake for 12 minutes in preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on
baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to cooling rack to cool
completely. Store in airtight container.
Notes: recipe said to bake for 8 to 10 minutes but when I did that
they folded over on themselves(too soft). I baked for 12 minutes and
the result was a slightly crunchy outside and soft, chewy inside
(perfect). No one I've served these to has been able to stop eating
them. Recipe doubles beautifully.
